Mojo came into our center as an owner surrender citing housing issues. It is reported he has been around children, plays exuberantly, reportedly friendly with other dogs and cats. Mojo is reportedly housebroken to use wee wee pads indoors, walked every so often. He is reportedly not bothered if anyone touches his Food, Toys, Treats. Mojo is described as friendly, affectionate, playful, confident, excitable, and independent. During intake, Mojo allowed all handling. He held gaze for three full seconds during Look item. Mojo leaned into assessor’s hand during Sensitivity item, mouth closed, body soft. He followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, approached assessor at end of game. Mojo did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts. He showed no interest in Toy. When off leash with other dogs Mojo offers brief sniffs, then becomes more preoccupied with wandering around the room. The Behavior Team feels Mojo would do well with an Average adopter. He may initially do well with a slow approach/slow introduction as well as first going home to a calm, quiet, structured environment so he can relax and know what to expect. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 1.
